Put painters tape on the back of where you're drilling the hole for the knobs and it won't tear out through the back as much

[@TomCarberry413]

How do you choose which hinge to buy? They have a variety of the same looking hinges at the box stores but with different labels and measurements? No one at the box store seems to know how to explain it. Thanks.

[@U2BER2012]

Usually, you can find info online, however, you still need to know if your doors will overlay and by how much; 1/2", 3/4" etc. Or if you want inset; meaning: no overlay, but flush. Then you would want to know,( in degrees, ) how much the door opens. Personally, I'll usually settle for 105 degrees. And lastly, you can order hinges with soft close, as well.

[@RICKYDENNIS49]

Anybody else notice the dirty great big split on one of the vertical timbers of the door ? Is there a kreg jig to fix that ?

[@U2BER2012]

I've never seen a door built with pocket holes. But then again, those are shaker style doors.

[@johnnichols8553]

I know it's the Kreg channel and they have to sell their products, but those pocket holes on the back of the door look hideous. Plug them, or learn how to build a proper tongue & groove door (what I'm doing now).
